Police are supposed to serve and protect the public, handling their weapons and wielding them at Will in various situations trained like machines, to be machine men they take that risk of being shot when they take the oath.
They appear to get their backs covered by the hierarchy as current events have shown. How many have been held to account over recent shootings of what many have termed as murder ?
Nurses however are there to serve and to serve and to serve ...sometimes and often, exhausted, emotionally physically, mentally, whilst still trying to maintain a sense of humanity, not trained to be machines but to have much expected.
On the matter of being able to protect? I’m not sure it’s even possible,
I whistle-blew regarding abuse and got fired. (I am no longer in the NHS because of that) I am back in nursing though and it’s insane pressure.
I recently had a co worker give out the wrong meds they admitted the mistake and thank God no lasting,,life threatening results.
It’s just my opinion, but there is an apparent lack of equilibrium.
We nurses are only human trained to be as such.
Police are trained to be like machines.
The system is broken.
